The World - Poem by Cassandra Elmway

The world got heavyOn her shouldersThe world stopped listeningTo her wordsThe world got hardTo push her and make her crack

She remembers a timeThe world was easyAnd she had friends, And would laugh every day.She would be smilingShe would be happy

The memories haunt herNow she does have friends, They stopped talking to her.Now its rare to smile, And she never laughs.She misses it, though.

The world stopped caringAbout her problemsThe world kept movingAnd she stayed putThe world got hard

And she cracked.One final cookie, her favorite treat.One final not, her parents love completeOne final goodbye, the world that turned its back on herOne final note, that escaped her lips, she loved to sing.
